Risen from the Grave-

In my youth of party days, I can remember how those drinks would taste so good going down that night with all your friends however the next morning, it would feel like your head was going to exposed.

And the drink is about half-full of pure alcohol....

1oz Apple Pucker

pineapple juice
Sierra Mist

Mulled Red Wine-

Well, my dears this one I have had a bit of experience with.. in my days of College days. It can be fun but it can sneak up on you ... I will give you what I put in my recipe ...This can be done with just with mugs or with fancy heat resistant glasses as shown in the image, it really depends on your personality. I used mugs myself.
This is what I did with my college gals Remember we used everything we had in our apt. and made our own version of Mulled Wine warm:
Ingredients-
Two bottles of Merlot wine [good one]
1-cup Tequila
1-cup Bacardi rum light
1-cup vodka
Cheese cloth/string
Lots of spices- 3-5 real cinnamon sticks
Zest strips from two-three oranges, lemon zest strips, nutmeg whole, allspice whole, pumpkin spice whole, fresh bay leaves if you can get them, fennel seeds. You can add anything you might want to add to your Mull wine.. that is what makes it fun...
Directions-
First get the spices and orange and lemon zest together. Lay the cheesecloth on a board and put all your spices inside including the zest from the oranges and lemon. Plus any other spices you wanted to add. Then secure them with a kitchen string. Then in a large pasta pan that will hold the two bottles of wine and the 3cups of different kinda alcohol, slowly pour all of them in the pot and stir them all together slowly. put on low heat and add the cheese cloth of spices and the bay leaves. Cover and simmer over the lower heat for 10min -watching it too.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered for 30min. remove the aromatics and oranges zest and bay leaves stir and taste to see if you like.. during the 3omins it may not need the 30mins its up to you!Serve warm if you need sugar add. But you shouldn't. Serve in mugs or fancy glasses'
